Taking Over Corner Brook

Hi again!

This week was pretty great here in Newfoundland aka the promised land.

Lots of snow, lots of shoveling, lots of fun.

I actually don't have much to say this week! Weird, I know.

The Elders from our area were emergency transferred, so Sister Crump and I are taking over Corner Brook. Man, I love this area.

Living on an island in winter is actually a little sketchy, because sometimes the boats can't get in because of the weather, so the stores don't have as much food. But the boats always get in eventually, so we're fine. Plus, Heavenly Father is looking out for us, so we're totally fine.

We had chicken TWICE this week, which was a miracle. I had actually forgotten what it tasted like haha.

Something I've been studying lately is that the Atonement cleanses, saves, and heals. It's not just so that we can be saved after we die, but we can be strengthened and happy and hopeful in this life, through it. It's awesome. I'm still working to understand it, but it was the Father's greatest expression of love for us, His children, and the Savior's greatest expression for both the Father and for us. It's amazing.

I hope everyone is doing well! Yes, we have seen plenty of moose ha ha. Usually while we are driving, and I always miss them.

Love,

Sister Park

P.S. I'm listening to MoTab sing the National Anthem at the moment, so no worries, I still love America. 

January Snow Squalls

Hey everyone!

So this week was super fun! We got so much snow! We had two days of snow squalls, which is basically just a blizzard.

We did some phone book contacting,which might sound super annoying, but we made it lots of fun. Nothing crazy really happened, but being a missionary is as great as ever!

Actually a cool story happened while we were knocking. There was no answer, so we started to walk to the next house and I just had a feeling that we needed to ring the doorbell. I felt super weird about it but I did and someone answered. She was super sweet and asked us to go see her neighbour. So we did and he is a super cool chemical engineer who has been to every continent. He had all these cool things he has collected all over his house. It was awesome. So yeah, follow promptings from the Holy Ghost and cool things happen, I promise. 

Also last night, Sister Crump sang every song from Les Mis to me. Every. Single. Song. I was trying to write in my journal and kept accidentally writing the words she was singing. I was like "Don't go away mad, just go away." Which is something my friend Sarah says all the time because her mom used to say it to her. It was super funny and I feel like I actually watched Les Mis again so we have a fun time. 

I hope everyone is doing well! 

Love,

Sister Park

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! Happy New Year!

Sorry today's email is going to be a little short, but I hope everyone is doing well!

This week was a little different with the holidays, but still fun! 

We went knocking with a member, Sharon, and this woman just told us how much she needed someone to stop by and help her. She just started crying on her porch and hugged us. We are going back to see her next week, but the little miracles are amazing and make it all worth it.

I hope everyone has a great week down in the States!

Love,

Sister Park
